Highjacking the economy

I know this post clashes with the one I had posted before but this has to be said too.
It seems the big three(GM,Ford,Chrysler) of the car industry need to be bailed out,they are basically highjacking the economy and telling the people to pay the ransom or else they are screwed.
I see a connection here between these companies and the pirates off the coast of Somalia,both are highjacking something and both can be called economic terrorists.
And we all know that domestic terrorists are much more dangerous than the foreign ones.
In good times these companies praised the free market for its potential for growth but now that they are in trouble they abandon their principals and come crying to mom.

The importance of human life

Well the fighting continues in Congo and the European countries are considering to launch a military operation,in the meantime Russia has sent another warship to the coast of Somalia to protect its precious cargo ships.
Is this just me or is money more important to these politicians than human lives?
There are thousands of children at this very moment in the Congo without any parents to protect them,they are starving to death and the oh so smart politicians are considering what to do.
By the time they finally make a decision ,thousands more will have been killed,raped,wounded,mentally scared.
And you would imagine that they would mention this in the newspapers but no its all about the precious cargo ships that are so much more important than thousands of lives.
What is wrong with this society?
